cheap drag wheels, help

ok i need some cheap wheels i can throw on to replace my 17" chrome when i go to the strip. im guessing 15's to maybe throw a slick on the rears but i need help with what wheels would be light enough, which wheels are good buys but mainly what backspacing and/or offset i should purchase as not to have any clerance issues. i really need help in that aspect since i dont even know the difference between backspacing and offset!!!!

i dont want to run a huge slick but something that will give me better launching for cheap!

after all the hassle you could pick up a set of 17" dr's and just have them mounted when you go to the track.

see thats exactly what im looking for, i would like all 4 the same so they match a little (front chrome and back stock would look funny lol) but it isnt worth it to spend a fortune.

i was thinking of something along the lines of these form jegs for http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerc...79&prmenbr=361
